Hi.
I am a new member to this site and help forum.
Four years to the day I had a tumor benign removed from my spinal column at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles by a very good team of surgeons who cut away at the tumor as close as they could with out leaving me with out paralyses, unfortunately the tumor had engulfed the end of my spinal cord, the horse tail.
for the first year after my surgery I had acupuncture and a regime of Meds list enclosed. my pain is my right leg and foot. I use a Alpha stim machine every other night for two hours and find it helps but I am lying in bed flat. I manage to live a life, up most of the day, by 9 pm I have to lay down.
My Dr. is concerned by the drugs and the effects they will and are having on my body. I have consulted pain management and have been told that I have reached the end of the oral drug intake. They are offering to fit a morphine pump ? or an internal teens machine? each one still comes with the intake of medications.
I am unable to take long air flights or trips in the car with out lying flat. I still after taking all these drugs every eight ours , have pain while walking or bending. The first year I did two days a week PT and joined a gym that had an elliptical machine However my intake of Hydracondone increased to four tabs per day just to work out for one hour. I now keep a regime of walking around the house and stairs and gardening but extended walks are just out of the question. The pain is throbbing and stabbing in the right leg and foot. Does any one out there have any suggestions?.
